The town’s colourful history is one of the many draws to Whitby. So little of the old town has changed over hundreds of years. There are still ships being built where Captain Cook’s vessel the Endeavour was handmade back in 1764 ready for the first voyage to Australia, you can now sail across the harbour in a replica or have your dinner in a restaurant on the ship in the harbour. You can explore the winding streets that Dracula used to roam according to Bram Stoker’s famous book, which has inspired movies and TV shows as well as the annual Goth events.
The town is very proud of its seafaring heritage; enjoy smoked kippers, fresh crab or award winning fish and chips. Further along the coast there are some picturesque bays, villages and towns to visit, including Robin Hoods Bay, Staithes, Runswick Bay, Scarborough and Saltburn. All perfect for a memorable day out. This is a great base for exploring the wonders of this beautiful corner of Yorkshire. Shop, pub and restaurant ½ mile.

Lovely cosy house in a great location for getting into town, roughly 15 mins walk. Good enclosed garden for the dog, however an outside light would be good for the evenings and the gate to the garden is a bit tricky to shut/open to make it secure. Kitchen has everything you need but could do with a separate freezer. We feed our dog raw & it needs to be kept frozen so the ‘freezer’ compartment in the fridge wasn’t really big enough & didn’t keep anything frozen. Overall a nice house and would recommend.
